  About the 30^th part:

The chapters in the 30^th part of the Qur'an have special distinctive color, rhythm, images, connotations and overall style. They are, indeed, like a persistent and strong knocking on a door, or loud shouts seeking to awaken some people who are fast asleep, or some drunken men who have lost consciousness. The knocks and shouts come one after another: "Wake up! Look around you! Think! Reflect! There is a God! There is planning, trial, liability, reckoning, reward, severe punishment, and lasting bliss."

  Snippets from the translation (from Chapter 80):

Perish man! How ungrateful he is.  Of what did Allah create him?  Of a little germ, He created him and proportioned him.  He makes his path smooth for him.  He then causes him to die and puts him in his grave.  He will surely bring him back to life when he pleases.  But by no means has man fulfilled the duty that Allah has assigned him.  Let man reflect on the food he eats.  How We poured down the rain in torrents, and then cleaved the earth in fissures.  How We bring forth the corn, the grapes, the fresh vegetation, the olive, and the palm, the lush gardens, the fruit trees, and the green pastures ... For you and your cattle to delight in.  [chapter 80:  17-32]
